Finding balance between life and work is proving difficult for me. I've been so lousy at blogging, haven't scrapbooked in years... even my running has taken a backseat. And it's my own fault, my family actually complains that I'm not doing these things. I'm slipping into the old "put myself last" habit that is so true in so many mothers and wives. We do it happily and without thought. But... it's just a few things that make me happy and as the saying goes "happy wife, happy life" I think I need to get back in my old "good" habits to make sure I keep my kids and husband happy too!
We spent several weekends this year over on "the island" helping build an apartment on Mike's parent's property for his ailing Grandmother. Well, Mike helped build, I ate peanuts and drank beer while the kids played and got filthy.
